Re: Common musical tastes

[trent@unix.sri.com (Ray Trent)]

Starting with the more obvious:

Danielle Dax, Shriekback, Siouxie Sioux (with or without the
Banshees), earlier Genesis (or later, for that matter), Laurie
Anderson (in a weird way), Suzanne Vega, the first 2 of Phil Collins
solo albums (if you can stomach the horns, that is...e.g. "I Don't
Care Anymore"), etc. (the Beatles clearly count, too, but...)

And progressing to groups/artists whose similarity is more tenuous:

King Crimson (e.g. the title track of "Three of a Perfect Pair"), the
Monochrome Set, Stan Ridgeway (with or without Wall of Voodoo), Echo
and the Bunnymen, the less commercial efforts of Duran Duran (what
there are of them), etc.
